No. 24 Hurricanes open ACC play with extra-inning loss against Boston College

The No. 24 Miami Hurricanes opened up ACC play on a sour note with an 8-7 home loss against Boston College in extra innings on Friday.

The Hurricanes struck first on an RBI single by Daniel Cuvet. During the play, Michael Torres was able to score from first base on a fielding error to make it a 2-0 Miami lead in the first inning. The Hurricanes added three more runs in the second inning on a home run from Daniel Dubovik, his fourth of the season.

The Eagles struck back in the third inning with an RBI double by Ty Mainolfi. Nick Wang crushed a three-run homer to make it a 5-4 game.

Miami continued to add to its lead with an RBI single by Vance Sheahan in the third inning and another run-scoring base hit by Dubovik in the seventh to go up 7-4.

The Eagles clawed back to tie the game 7-7 with a sacrifice fly by Wang in the eighth, a one-run single by Luke Gallo, and another sac fly in the ninth inning.

The Eagles took their first lead of the game in the 11th inning. After loading the bases, Julio Solier struck out but the pitch went past the catcher, allowing Esteban Garcia to score.

AJ Ciscar threw eight innings for the Hurricanes in the no-decision, allowing four runs on six hits with four strikeouts. Dubovik and Jake Ogden each had three hits for Miami.

Both Gallo and Solier had two hits for the Eagles, who won despite having seven fewer hits and four errors. Boston College improves to 8-5 on the season after sweeping a mid-week series at Florida International and now upsetting Miami.

The Hurricanes, who lost their third game of the season, will look to even the series on Saturday.
